HB 2050 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

To require municipalities issuing tickets to charge the entire fee for tickets

HB 2050 requires municipalities and courts to provide drivers with clear written notice before suspending licenses for unpaid traffic violations. It mandates that notice detail both the fine owed to the court and any administrative fee owed to the state division, with a 30-day warning before suspension. The bill also requires courts collecting fees to forward administrative fees directly to the state division. This affects drivers who fail to respond to traffic tickets, ensuring they understand all costs before license suspension. The law changes how courts communicate fees and handle collections for motor vehicle violations.
